Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,365,145 – $1,739,505, from 12 comparable Bernards sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 4,023 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Bernards assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,510,569 home should be assessed near $1,436,853.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $6,953 below what the ratio math suggests (0.5%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bernards home
$1.095 Schools · 65% $0.308 County · 18% $0.285 Town · 17%
This home's own bill implies $0.933 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Bernards's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
